Thank you so much for visiting us at kidscommons! We are thrilled you enjoyed the museum and hope you’ll come back again soon to play!

This is a small museum probably best for kids ages 3-8 years old. I would say you would spend about 2 hours here. Pay the extra $3 and try climbing the rock wall, the kids will love it. There is a huge art makerspace, a...More

Thank you for visiting kidscommons! We are happy you enjoyed the museum! We hope you’ll visit us (and Wilson the hedgehog) again soon!

We came with 4 children who really enjoyed the miniature house they could play with and taking a picture in the toliet was right up their alley.

Thank you so much for stopping by kidscommons! We agree that the giant toilet is a great spot for taking photos (and it's pretty fun to say you went down a toilet too)! We hope you come by and see us again soon!

General admission is $7 (18 mo. older). 2 stories. Not very many things to do. The most fun thing to do (according to my 7 year old) is "going down the toilet" - slide. Recommend for kids 5 and under because it's things to play...More

We drove down from Indy to do a little staycation in Columbus right before NYE. My wife had heard great things about kidscommons so our two 4 yr old girls couldn’t miss it. We have had indy children’s museum memberships for a couple years, and...More

We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your visit at kidscommons. I too can spend a good 30 minutes a day going down the toilet! We hope to see you back again soon :)

This is another great place to take kids when the weather isn’t great. Admission is reasonable and there’s a ton of stuff to do once you get inside. The things that seem to interest my grandson the most were the electronic experiments, robotic arm, bubble...More

I took my three grandchildren, 7, 9, and 13 and all three enjoyed it. It's a small space packed with lots of kid entertainment. The bubble room and the Explorahouse were the favored fun areas, but there were lots of other activities that engaged them...More

Thank you for reviewing kidscommons! We are so happy to hear you all enjoyed your day exploring our museum and downtown Columbus. As you stated, there is so much to see and do while you are in town. Please come back and visit again soon....More

Overall it was a fun afternoon. My only issue is the price. In Indy, if you went to someplace like this you only pay for the child as they are the ones getting the most out of the activities. Honestly after 21 dollars later, we...More
